Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling an internal combustion engine stop operation to enable good startup performance of the engine, wherein the engine includes a valve and a mechanism for controlling the valve opening center phase angle, the valve opening duration, and the valve lift of the valve.
  • a valve control apparatus for an internal combustion engine.
  • the apparatus includes a variable phase angle mechanism configured to continuously change a valve opening phase angle of a valve, a variable valve mechanism configured to continuously change at least one of a valve opening duration and a valve lift of the valve, and a controller configured to control the variable phase angle mechanism and the variable valve mechanism.
  • the variable phase angle mechanism is configured to set the valve opening phase angle at a retarded phase angle in a startup operation as compared with a normal phase angle in a normal operation. After an engine stop command is generated, the controller controls the variable valve mechanism such that an integrated valve opening value is increased to be larger than an idle state integrated valve opening value in an idle state.
  • the intake drive shaft 3 is rotated in association with the crankshaft of the engine 1 .
  • the ring-like link 12 substantially follows the movement of the intake drive shaft 3 via the drive cam 11 rotated by the intake drive shaft 3 , the rocker arm 15 is rocked around an axis of the control cam 14 , and the rocker cam 4 is rocked via the rod-like link 16 , thereby opening and closing the intake valve 54 .
  • the ECU 61 controls an electricity to a solenoid 97 of the solenoid operated directional control valve 95 .
  • variable valve mechanism 10 of the intake valve 54 is provided to move the intake valve 54 with low valve opening duration and a low valve lift so that a small resistance is applied to driving of the intake valve 54 by the cam, thus avoiding the problem of a further large driving force from the cam when the valve opening center phase angle is driven in the retard direction.
  • FIG. 5 is a flowchart according to a first embodiment.
  • step S 1 it is determined whether or not an engine stop command is generated. If it is determined that the engine stop command is generated, the process goes to step S 2 , in which the variable phase angle mechanism 20 is driven to start control in which the valve opening center phase angle of the intake valve 54 is moved to the most retarded position. Meanwhile, another control routine executes an engine stop operation including a control for stopping fuel injection and a control for completely closing the throttle valve.
  • a single-cycle valve lift profile from a valve-open timing to a valve-close timing of the intake valve 54 is set by using an integrated valve opening value.
  • integrated valve opening value means that the area is calculated under a curve plotting valve lift on the vertical axis and crank angle on the horizontal axis.
  • the integrated valve opening value of the valve lift profile is controlled to be larger than an integrated valve opening value of a valve lift profile in an idle state, i.e., an idle state integrated valve opening value.
  • the fuel injection is stopped immediately after the engine stop command is generated, and then the valve opening of the intake valve 54 is increased.
  • the engine stop operation including the stopping of fuel injection, may be delayed for a predetermined period, and then the valve opening of the intake valve 54 may be increased.
  • the variable phase angle mechanism 20 controls the intake valve to be retarded by a certain amount, and then controls the intake valve to move to the most retarded position by increasing the valve opening.
  • FIG. 8A illustrates changes in various engine operating parameters according to an embodiment having such a configuration in comparison with that according to the prior art in FIG. 8B .
